Old Bisbee Ghost Tour — Attraction in Bisbee

It was a cold, dark night when I felt...off. I kept telling my partner I didn't feel like I was part of this world, and my heart was pounding. He said we didn't have to go, but I wanted to fight off this pain. Hours later, our tour guide would say that it's common for people to get possessed by the spirts of Bisbee during their visit. A woman beside me gasped. She told her boyfriend she felt 'different' all day. It was then I realized, I wasn't alone...

I went on the 'Old Bisbee Ghost Tour' in January, and it revealed much about the dark past of the town. All attendees were required to wait in front of the 'Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum' by 7pm before we were whisked off through stairways & old alleys while we were told the macabre stories of the ghosts that live in the town.

I really enjoyed our guide; I forgot his name, but he was a tall, caucasian, white-haired man with a top hat & suit. His voice was perfect for spooky narration, and had a few zingers here & there. He suggested we try the 'Ghost Pub Crawl' if we visit again- I might take him up on it. Expect to be walking a lot; there will be a lot of stops, but it's still quite a journey before you're free to disperse, so dress comfortably and warmly.

This is not the best tour for people that do not like history, cannot walk or stand for long periods of time, have wheelchairs/canes/etc. and while children can attend, I can't see every child tolerating listening to stories for hours outdoors. If you want to bring the family, you need to determine if your kid is the kind to enjoy this too.

Along with trekking up hills, I also had opportunities to enter a couple of spooky hotels. The stories about them made me conjure up my own stories. I'm a very imaginative person, so I loved picturing these ghosts among us. I won't spoil much, but my favorite ghosts involve a cat and 'The Cuddler.' You'll have to go on this tour to know more about them.

Being a part of the 'Old Bisbee Ghost Tour' helps contextualize the surroundings, helping you gain a greater appreciation for how the town of Bisbee was able to survive all the horrors. I'd be glad to try a different tour, as long as another ghost doesn't...

Captivating New Orleans-style Ghost Tour in The Heart of the Desert...

BISBEE, ARIZONA is without a doubt, the most Aesthetically, Historically, and Naturally, BEAUTIFUL city West of the Mississippi!

There really is NO OTHER Reason to travel West, period.

Beyond the physical plane, there is also this palatable sense of being "Cradled" by the mountains, Protected in its own way, Celebrated, & So welcomingly Far Removed from looming Perils of present day 2021..

The Whole Thing just wants you to sit down and have a drink & paint a picture... or write a book ... & That is what I Enjoyed MOST About it ...

& THIS^ IS exactly what The Ghost Tours make Come ALIVE !

It is evident, that this is a tiny, very-close nit community of colorful mortals has Returned to inhabit its unique graces time, and time again, and potentially through Multiple vessels ... & who wouldn't ...

Talk to the spirits & Offer them Whisky and coins along the way, and They will show!

Dress Fashionably for this occasion, Period clothing encouraged.. As this is a Hip Classy town, One of the Most-Prominent & Classy Cities in the country in the 19th century.. so Keep the Tradition alive.. & Dress Up !!

wear smart shoes for the hills. Bring a modern camera (with a flash), and take 2 pictures of everything ... (because what you Don't catch with one, you might catch with the other...) wear a coat, nights are cold and windy,

Only Down-side is, Unlike New Orleans there are No Late-nights diners here for vampires ... so pack a Lunch before dark or Feed BEFORE...

We did the Bisbee Inn Ghost Hunt. During an orientation on rather basic equipment (K2, dowsing rods, EMF) we were also provided with old glowsticks with a warning that they might not work any more. They did glow faintly, but they weren't needed because the lights were on the entire time. The briefing on the above equipment, including dowsing rods, was presented as absolute fact and with zero skepticism, which may be a problem for some.

Entry was allowed into less than half the hotel's rooms: we were told not to go in any room or space with closed doors to respect the off-site owner and the other guests; yet only one couple, also on the hunt, was staying in the otherwise empty hotel.

The tour leader counseled us to record for EVPs and to verbally mark known noises on the recording for later review, but that would have been difficult while the other couple was elsewhere loudly using a Spirit Box that would have obliterated any chance to identify odd noises.

When our group of four handed in our equipment an hour and a half through the 3 hour experience, the guide's response was, roughly: "You're leaving? Have a great night!", without any attempt at making things right, if she had recognition that there was dissatisfaction on our part. While it is possible that she was unaware, I find that unlikely.

While the hotel itself was mildly interesting from an historical perspective, additionally, we were glad that we had chosen to stay elsewhere in town when we saw the quality of the accommodations.
